Saint Bridget's Well Cemetery
Liscannor, County Clare, Ireland

This cemetery is on the left hand side as you take the road to the Cliffs
of Moher and after Liscannor Village travelling from Lahinch.

There is a tall spire just beside the cemetery and in front of the
cemetery a holy well named after Saint Bridget. In most country parts
of Ireland there are spring wells which have been called after saints.

In the old days people went to visit them and walked around the well
saying decades of a rosary on their prayer beads. Usually they prayed
for some favour or gave thanks for something received.

In this particular well they left religious objects like images of
the Virgin Mary or Rosary beads. These were hung up on the wall. The
cemetery is located behind the well.
